Very disappointing, though I suppose understandable.
I think he got a rough deal with line mates last year in that the best he looked was on the CCS line. With Martin on that line the rest weren’t really up to scratch.
The injuries are obviously concerning, and that might be the only reason I could see it as being understandable.
But he had bags of skill, was always exciting to watch and passionate with it.
I hope he does really well in Germany.
